First work with script languages - Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. (C64 Basic anyone?).
Then work up to more complicated & compiled languages (eg. c/c++)
Add in make-files as things get more complicated.
As you go, learn whatever graphics/sound/data-management stuff you want to.

Unless you want to contribute to a group project, cvs/svn/git, and a bunch of stuff that might make programming harder to get into, isn't necessary.

Much of learning IS memorizing.
Basic arithmetic -> 2+2=4,
vocabulary -> canard=duck,
spelling/phonics -> "ce" makes a "s" sound, there/they're/their
geography -> Canada is north of USA
history -> Hitler is responsible for some aweful stuff
Physics -> F=ma
mathematics -> all those axioms
grammar -> conjugation of verbs, pronouns, types of words...
sports -> you're not allowed to touch a soccer ball with your hand (in most cases)
...
Even in cases where memorizing isn't necessary, it saves a lot of time.

There are also other apps in KEDU:
Kalzium - chemistry, impressive molecular modelling
Marble - a globe with satelite imagery (recently added 2D models)
Step - a 2D physics simulator, impressive stuff
Kig - interactive geometry, excellent for visualizing complex 2D geometry.
...
